The puppy universal installer was an error on my part and will be fixed for the next release. Thanks for that because I didn't even notice.

Pcur should have been removed. Using "mouse and touchpad" in Control panel > hardware, changes the theme without restarting X. X-precise is supposed to be fairly stripped down so maybe an extra cursor theme's .pet will do.

The package manager was supposed to be changed to "ziggy" theme, which displays properly maximized. I'll have a look at quickpet, although it seems like an app that needs constant updating.

Not showing the drives on the desktop was a personal choice. I used an already made Xfce pet and after a reboot the drives don't show unless you re-check it or mount them. I just compiled Xfce-4.10 and will be testing it over the next few days so hopefully that will be fixed.

The second post has links to a few apps and one of them is extra panel plugins.

I noticed a few days ago that menu tool-tips wasn't enabled, that will also be changed.

Thanks for the feedback, I'm hoping that v2.1 will be out this week._________________X-tahr-1b1 - X-slacko-3.1 - X-slacko-2.3.2 - X-precise-2.4

At the moment I don't have a laptop that will run X-precise, let alone one with a trackpoint to test this issue on.

I get a thunar error when dragging a webpage to the desktop. This seems to be an Xfce/thunar issue. Right clicking and making a url link works for me._________________X-tahr-1b1 - X-slacko-3.1 - X-slacko-2.3.2 - X-precise-2.4

Try booting from the 2.0 iso, right clicking on desktop, create URL, then fill in the name and URL fields then click ok. for me the desktop dies. When trying to run xdesktop in the terminal it seg faults

# xfdesktop
Segmentation fault
# pwd
/usr/bin

Also the FFConvert utility fails to save screen capture movies to any destination. Perhaps there is something in the /tmp/ffconvert logs that seems like a smoking gun to you.

I booted from the ISO in virtualbox and made a URL and it work without crashing xfdesktop.

This is really awesome.
All I have to say is that you should rename your main puppy.sfs file so that it doesn't make conflict with an install of the original Precise (for example xprecise571.sfs). I think there's a forum thread dedicated to how to do it for a pupplet, I just can't find it._________________OB Precise 15.01 kernel 3.17.7|Puppy Linux en español

Thanks vicmz, glad you like it.

Didn't even think about changing the puppy.sfs name but that's a good idea and it shouldn't be to hard to sort out (hopefully). Will add that to v2.1 to-do list.

I was hoping to have v2.1 out this week but am fighting a few xfce issues and I need a break for a few days._________________X-tahr-1b1 - X-slacko-3.1 - X-slacko-2.3.2 - X-precise-2.4

Running 2.0 on my core 2 duo all intel Laptop. I had already skinned the acpid cat a slightly different way installing acpid, acpitool from the precise repo and used the lid.sh and sleep.sh from my lina-lite. Works fine, suspends on lid closure ok. I've used PM-tools on alphaOS also. Works fine. Only issue I see at all is xfce-terminal setting preferences doesn't work for me. Try it and see.

All in all, a very slick tuning of precise._________________Pups currently in kennel X-slacko 3.0n, X-tahr 1b2, LxpupTahr 15.05 non-PAE, and trusty Carolina/Carolite (now battleshooters 1.3-vanguard edition R2). All lean and steady pups.

Hey Marv,

Acpitool from the repo seems to work ok but acpid doesn't run for me, check task manager and see. I've decided to use the packages from Saluki/Carolina.

I just booted into RAM and your right, no terminal preferences. I guess I fixed it on my install and forgot about it. Thanks for the heads up, will be fixed for v2.1_________________X-tahr-1b1 - X-slacko-3.1 - X-slacko-2.3.2 - X-precise-2.4

Acpitool from the repo seems to work ok but acpid doesn't run for me, check task manager and see. I've decided to use the packages from Saluki/Carolina.

Seems to me that the package from the repo made a symlink in /etc/init.d to acpid rather than calling the full package in /usr/xxx from a script. That link failed, possibly because it invoked the busybox acpid. I substituted the usual script in init.d and it started._________________Pups currently in kennel X-slacko 3.0n, X-tahr 1b2, LxpupTahr 15.05 non-PAE, and trusty Carolina/Carolite (now battleshooters 1.3-vanguard edition R2).

I like precise 5.7.1 but i wonder how easy it is to get softwares. My experience is that the pakage manager takes hours to update compared to saluki or carolina. And whenever i find a software in pakage manager and go on to check its dependencies, the download (usually from ubuntu) becomes quite big. Even for something as simple as smplayer.

Of course, initially i was happy to see how we are going to have a puppy that will be compatible with latest ubuntu.

It is nice that you have collected softwares compatible for xprecise and put them together.

For those not so experienced like me , we can sometimes download from ubuntu what is suggested by pakage manager and break our puppies.

But still i can't resist your xprecise because it has the combination of nice stable xfce and the ubuntu "want to be" puppy.

Wonder if you could be kind enough to help me install compiz in xprecise. I don't trust installing it from pakage manager.Last edited by pchan on Sat 07 Sep 2013, 09:57; edited 1 time in total

What am I doing wrong? I have D/Led the 2.1 delta twice and Gtkhash shows the MD5 as a8e69f7d0d34c8565ac775289f64fbc9 not c406bbdce626a5da8d2025cb268d5642 as X-precise-2.1.iso-md5.txt indicates. MD5 for main X-precise-2.0.iso checks good. Thanks... KJ

Running fine, terminal preferences now work. Acpid in 2.1 needed the following changes to get suspend on lid closure for me. In /root/Startup/9acpid, change line 4 from acpid to /usr/sbin/acpid. This will start the full acpid, not the busybox via the symlink in /sbin. In /etc/acpi/lid.sh, replace * with LID in line 8.
